Years ago, my dad was in the local hardware, buying some quarter inch hardware cloth. An old timer farmer was standing there asked what he was doing. Dad said he was going to use to keep livestock from pushing windows out of barn. Old guy scoffed, said he had used wood and even pipes to keep 'em out. Nothing worked. Dad allowed as how he thought these would work. Invited old guy to stop by in the afternoon and see.
That morning he hung the screens. The three half grown steers watched with interest as he installed. I walked in just as he completed hanging. Dad called to me to plug in fencer. The steers stood in a row, and as he stepped out of the pen, steers looked back and forth and middle one apparently was elected. He walked up and shoved his nose up against the screen. The jolt backed him up about two lenghts, and landed him on his haunches. He got up went over to the manger and started eating hay, followed by his buddies. Lesson learned.
Old fellow from hardware showed up in afternoon. Inspected screens hanging there and declared they wouldn't work. Completely missed that screen was hanging from fencing insulators. Dad suggested that he try to push it out. He was wearing street shoes and had a hole in his glove. Reached up and gave a shove. Pulled his hand back suddenly and allowed maybe it would work.
Those screens worked for over 20 years, never lost a window. Only needed to use fencer occasionally. Even when we stuffed a handful of hay behind them they were left alone.
